Mr Coffee Not What It Once Was

A few months ago I did a review about the Hamilton Beach BrewStation (read that review here ) and was not only impressed but highly recommend the coffee maker.

As stated in that review my wife and I are coffee addicts. We have a pot going all day therefore we do know a little about a good cup of coffee and several different styles and brands of coffee makers.

Another brand that I have always thought highly of was the plain old Mr. Coffee. They are inexpensive and generally brew a decent cup of coffee. The hot plate keeps the coffee at a nice temperature which allows you to enjoy the full pot without having it scorch or get too cool. And we use our Mr. Coffee as a backup in case of emergency or when we have a lot of company.

We recently replaced our old Mr. Coffee with a new one and while I am generally satisfied with the maker part the carafe lacks much to be desired. You can rarely pour a cup without having it land everywhere. I am not sure why the carafe has been changed from the previous wide mouth style but this one is incredibly hard to pour without spilling it everywhere.

Everything else about this Mr. Coffee is excellent as always but the carafe they are now using would prevent me from purchasing another one.
